I can just imagine your heart did a flip when you saw him bringing it off the plane. For a couple of reasons, LOL!<br />Hugs, GingerSavannah Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696512605529986289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566773775160915517.post-3135603168682468552013-06-14T13:55:57.676-04:002013-06-14T13:55:57.676-04:00Love the story.

My husband was in the British Army and we were statationed in Germany and George did bring me a camel saddle and a flokati rug. I escaped owning the brass top table though.<br />They are long gone, because I never really liked them, but I did not have the heart to tell him. <br />Have a lovely weekend.<br />Best Wishes<br />Daphne<br />Ivy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566773775160915517.post-1610582138269307022013-06-12T13:56:15.855-04:002013-06-12T13:56:15.855-04:00I enjoyed your coffee table story...it's a bea...I enjoyed your coffee table story...it's a beautiful table!

Col in the Marines and traveled all over. They had many things brought back from Africa (if memory serves me right). I didn't know those tables were so popular back then.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566773775160915517.post-69091988098573271062013-06-11T18:23:06.613-04:002013-06-11T18:23:06.613-04:00Pieces with a story are the best!

When "Mr. Ed" was overseasd, I asked for 'teak tables' from Korea. . .instead I received brass urns!!! Still have them, sometimes they are displayed...other times they are stored!!!<br />Your vignette is adorable on your coffee table...especially the framed photo of your grandson!!! I love the pearl box!!! Keeping the shell on the lid adds to your theme, quite nicely!!!<br />Send some of that rain here on the Prairie...anytime!!!<br />Fondly,<br />PatOn Crooked Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194554531505722292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566773775160915517.post-46546764109791073712013-06-11T08:15:49.697-04:002013-06-11T08:15:49.697-04:00I love your table's story.
